Fair Play: Regional Victoria (Expression of Interest)
DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR 2ND ROUND: extended to 12 June 2023

Diversity Arts Australia, in partnership with Creative Victoria, is offering a 5 month tailored training program to promote greater equity and inclusion in Regional Victorian arts organisations. The program is open to 15 regional LGA owned/operated galleries and performing arts centres. There will be two intakes in the program and most of the sessions will be held online via Zoom with an optional in-person event at the conclusion of the program.

The program will focus on developing each venue’s skills and capacity in working with First Nations people, people from underrepresented cultural and linguistic backgrounds and people with Disability.

This program is not about box ticking, but systemic change within this sector. In Fair Play, museums, galleries and performing arts venues will learn how to change their structures and practices to genuinely improve accessibility, respect and inclusion of marginalised communities.

Participants will undertake both educational and practical workshops across the program. With the support of expert trainers and a mentor, businesses will be given the tools and support to critically assess and dismantle existing barriers to participation in their workplaces. Participants will work to set realistic goals for creating organisational change and will complete the program with an Equity Action Plan tailored to their venue.

While some venues may be situated within a local government that has an existing Equity Action Plan or similar, this program will generate a venue specific on-the-ground action plan that will complement any existing council plans.
